'cos I'm a "Rookie".

There are some "....-hot" birders on this forum, and some "...." photographers!!! :laugh::laugh::laugh:

Never mind, as Brucie would say "Good Game, Good Game" (after which Anthea would do a "twirl"). I am showing my age with that - I am pre "Blue Peter" (which was the best programme EVER on BBC).

Cheers for the laugh Michael :beer:

Colin

P.S. But, will we ever know the real identity of the "blob on the post"?
